Barry Laughs At Everyone But Himself

[nickcopernicus]

The fact that somebody "is a liar" does NOT preclude them from occasionally stating the truth, especially when it suits their purposes.

Nick:
AFAICT, Every human I've encountered lies; so I guess that means I should assume that people are almost lying, and that they occasionally state the truth when it suits their purposes?

Depends on how many careerists you have in your organization.

I made a minor mistake I meant to write "Though thankfully a lot of conservatives here are for vaccines" I hope that clear from context, otherwise I'd assert the point and then write 'Though thankfully...' and then give the same point again.

I really don't understand.. is THIS the thread where you "blasted me", carried it over into Shoutbox, then issued an apology? I'm really confused about all that.

I think you mean "almost always lying," otherwise that sounds funny.

When somebody is on the stage as a national leader, and promises to oversee "the most transparent administration", yet constantly seems to twist the facts to his own purposes, when much of what he says is DEMONSTRABLY FALSE, it's safe, IMOHBAO, to say he's a "liar". On the other hand, a man who fudges on the "does this dress make my butt look big" question --- not so much.

Who plays the role of the hectoring wife in the first example?

I'm fairly certain it is.

OK, as near as I can understand it, part of the problem came from my first comment where I, like others, failed to notice the "it" reference to a person. For the record, I CERTAINLY don't agree with calling a person an "it", and the person who said that has apologized.

Was that my "offense"?
